Sister Francois has been connected to Viladewoz (translated, “Villa of Roses”) church for most of her life. In fact, the church was built a few feet from her home. Pastors and projects have come and gone; but every day, Sister Francois faithfully hosts bible studies, worship services, and youth groups at the church. Because of her patient advocacy, SONBEAM International purchased building materials to help church members cover the roofless church building with a new truss and sheet-metal roof. She even encouraged her nephew, Joslin Fevrier, to attend our theological training courses so he can serve the church as pastor. Sister Francois is exactly the kind of woman that we have been trying to reach through Sharon’s work with the women’s ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of Haiti (CRCH). Sister Francois hosted the annual Women’s Spiritual Conference in June, 2014. The goal of the conference was to equip and encourage Sister Francois and other women who are deeply engaged in the life of the church.
